Sylvie Fleury (CH)Mushrooms, 2006

Locality: Old Town Square, opposite of the Saint Michaels Church, on grass plot

The Genevan artist Sylvie Fleury is famous for her staged presentations of products stemming from the glamorous world of fashion and modern consumerism. The slogans she latches onto are more than the 'emblems' of internationally famous couturiers, perfumeries or glossy magazines. By using these codes, Fleury species the human yearnings and ideals associated with the luxury merchandise.
